Hey everyone im Jesse. I live in elk grove village a suburb of chicago. I am very intrested in freediving. I sort of have experience with the dynamic apnea thing from some of the training I went through in the military. My PR is a 60m. I planned on going for a 75m but I got injured in training before I could. But im ok now so im ready to get back into it. Im not sure if there is any place around here to test what depth I can reach. That would be sweet though.

Hi Jesse, welcome to Deeperblue 
You might wish to try the 'Find a Buddy and Places to Dive' forum. It's helped a lot of people to connect with other divers in their local areas. You may also want to look into Performance Freediving International. They have some great classes.
I hope you had a great Christmas. Enjoy your time here on the forums.

Jesse,
There are a few people around you, some who even post on here. Maytag and FreediveChicago are the first two who come to mind. I live a couple hours away from you, in Madison, but make it to the Milwaukee are to dive Lake Michigan quite a bit.
There are a few things going on to try your hand at depth. The first I should mention is a little thing called Freedive-A-Palooza that I put together every July- just do a search on here for it and you'll find out all about it. We have a New Year's dive/ carp shoot coming up next week. I also have an Ice (free)dive palanned for February- IF we ever get any ice. I call it Freeze-A-Palooza and you can look up past threads on that also.
If your intetrested, Chicago has a very active underwater hockey group that you may want to join- they train 3-4 nights a week. Otherwise, there are various quarries and other freedivers in the area that you could dive with.
Welcome to DB.
